Require the FacesBridge to provide @Alternative CDI producers for Portlet 3.0 @Named beans that can be wrapped by factories

Section 20.3.1 of the Portlet 3.0 Specification titled "Portlet Request Scoped Beans" provides a table that lists all of the @Named @PortletRequestScoped CDI beans and their corresponding EL names. Since the FacesBridge provides factories that potentially decorate these @PortletRequestScoped beans, the FacesBridge should be required to provide @Alternative CDI producers.

Example from the FacesBridge RI:

BridgePortletConfigProducer.java

@Alternative
@Dependent
@Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICATION + 10)
public class BridgePortletConfigProducer {

	@Named(value = "portletConfig")
	@PortletRequestScoped
	@Produces
	public PortletConfig getPortletConfig() {
		return RequestMapUtil.getPortletConfig(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
	}
}

The following is a list of beans that would require @Alternative CDI producers:

• @Inject each of the named beans into a Java class and verify that the injected instances are equal to those that are produced by the FacesBridge factories.
